Love Thursday

“Autumn is the hardest season. The leaves are all falling, and they're falling like
they're falling in love with the ground.” 
― Andrea Gibson

Love Thursday: Good-bye Edward

We had about 3 hours with Edward on Tuesday evening before he and John left for Seattle where Ed will begin his new job at Microsoft.  We made the best of it and met the girls over at Calvin for a good-bye supper at Johnny's!


They packed Edward's car full and were in Fargo, ND for lunch the next day and spent that night in Billings, MT!

Please pray for my friend Cathy and her family.  Her dad had surgery and they found cancer in the brain, spine and lungs this past Monday, and he is still unconscious.  I took this photo at Ben's graduation and so, I was able to meet him then.  He was a sweet, fun-loving guy, just like his daughter!

The sun came out this week and the colors did too!

This past week, John asked me what I wanted for Valentine's Day.  Aw, you don't have to get me anything, I said.  Well, on second thought, some pink tulips would be nice.


But then, he saw some yellow roses he just couldn't pass up.


So they are sitting in lovethursdayharmony on our table, bringing us a much needed splash of color!

One thing I love about this photo is how the repeating pattern of the windows in the building balance the repeating pattern of the boxes in the blanket.  I also love how it tells the story of how Cathy wore a blanket over her head for our walk because she couldn't find a hat.   But I think I mostly love it because it is of my BFF Cathy.

Love Thursday

I can't believe it's love thursday already!  Well, these white roses are here just in time...

Up in the mountains with the fam, what could be better?

I must be going nuts to dedicate a Love Thursday to the Prairie Dogs, but they are just so cute! We saw them in Custer State Park in South Dakota.
